Expect the street prices to be significantly lower in half a year. This 
seller (which btw has two accounts the other name is arsenall) has 
notoriously exorbitant prices. He has listed one 15mm/2.8 Distagon lens in 
Germany for EUR3549 ($4200) and the same in USA for $3637 (EUR3078)... Now I 
understand why Germany has economical problems...

What I am concerned, the supercompact Voigtlander 15/4.5 will stay fine for 
me.
